instances due to failing to check for URL-encoded characters. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to learn sensitive information.
(CVE-2024-53263)

It was discovered that Git LFS could have its git lfs checkout and
git lfs pull commands abused to write to any file on a user’s

Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2025-26625)
